Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: ALL FOR ME GROG
G'day,
^^^ Here's the version we do, with chords:

ALL FOR ME GROG

Well I (G)am a ramblin' lad me (C)story it is (G)sad
If (G)ever I get to Lachlan I should (A7)wonder(D7)
For I (G)spent all me (G7)brass in the (C)bottom of the (D7)glass
And a(G)cross the western (C)plains I must (D7)wan(G)der.

And it's all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog
It's all for me beer and tobacco
For I spent all me tin in a shanty drinking gin
Now across the western plains I must wander.

Well I'm stiff, stony broke and I've parted from me moke
And the sky is lookin' black as flamin' thunder
The shanty boss is blue 'cause I haven't got a sou
That's the way they treat you when you're down and under.

I'm crook in the head and I haven't been to bed
Since first I touched this shanty with me plunder
I see centipedes and snakes, and I'm full of aches and shakes
And I think it's time to push for way out yonder.

I'll take to the Old Man Plain, and criss-cross him once again
Until me eyes the track no longer see boys
And me beer and whiskey brain search for sleep but all in vain
And I feel as if I've had the Darling Pea boys.

So it's hang yer jolly grog, yer hocussed shanty grog
The beer that is loaded with tobacco
Graftin' humour I am in, and I'll stick the peg right in
And settle down once more to some hard yakka.

Cheers,
Alan
